Tax Debt and Bankruptcy
We help clients with a wide range of tax debt problems. In some cases, we may be able to negotiate an offer in compromise (OIC) with the IRS, in which your tax debt is settled for less than the full amount.
In many cases, tax debt is dischargeable through bankruptcy.
Tax debt is generally dischargeable if:
- The debt is at least three years old (from the filing due date)
- The tax return was filed at least two years ago
- The tax assessment is at least 240 days old
- The taxpayer did not commit tax fraud or evasion
If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your tax debt may be discharged, along with credit card debt and other unsecured debts. If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your debt will be restructured into a three to five year repayment plan. It is imperative that you discuss these matters with an experienced attorney. A timing mistake of only a few days can cost you thousands in non-dischargeable taxes.
Our attorneys can help you explore your debt relief options to help you determine the best possible way to deal with your tax debt problem. We are focused on helping you put your debt problems behind you so you can look forward to a stable financial future.
